The Eastern Cape Health Department has issued a statement today, February 11, announcing the temporary closure of Rosedale Clinic following a shooting incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Siyanda Manana, spokesperson for the Eastern Cape Health Department, the Rosedale Clinic on Acacia Avenue was closed today because a stray bullet allegedly struck the clinic during the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shooting incident occurred near the clinic between rival gangs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closure of the clinic was a preventive measure to protect both staff and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson also mentioned that despite the current violence in the area, the clinic will reopen tomorrow, February 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motive behind the conflict between the gangs remains unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
